Information You Send
Search Entries
Names, locations, or other terms typed into a search tool may be sent to the third-party provider that powers that tool. This site does not keep a separate local log of those search terms on its own server.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to review and answer it. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.

Cookies and similar tools may help measure site use, remember basic settings, and support advertising or analytics. Browser settings can block cookies, but some site features or partner tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.

Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, court portals, Texas VINELink, TDCJ, BOP, ICE, government resources, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the linked site's privacy policy and terms control that visit.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure visits or deliver interest-based ads across websites. Those actions occur on partner systems, not as official Jeff Davis County record activity.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be available to the following parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process submitted searches.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that support site operation.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful demand applies.
Official public records held by Texas agencies are governed by laws such as the Texas Public Information Act, Texas Government Code Chapter 552. This site's privacy practices do not control how those agencies handle their own records.
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards for information handled by the site. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed to be fully secure, so we cannot promise that data will never be accessed without authorization.
